Trevor September 11, 2019 for Model Number FFFH20F2QWC Our upright freezer stopped working altogether (no noise...nothing). I bought the run capacitor and the compressor controller from you guys and tried that out and it didn't fix the problem. Is there anything else that I can try before paying for an appliance repair company? Thanks!!
1 Answer Trevor, With nothing on the unit operating then the most likely cause for this issue will be the timer that is faulty. The timer is located in the back of the unit. Try to turn the dial and see if the unit comes on. If it does then this means the timer was stuck in defrost and the timer would need to be replaced. The part number for the timer is 5304518034.

Emma January 29, 2019 If a defrost timer needs to be replaced because the frig has not been going into defrost mode, will the built up frost need to be removed or will putting in a new timer which will go into defrost mode once more take care of the problem by itself with no additional intervention? Thank you.
1 Answer Emma, It really depends on the amount of ice that has accumulated on the evaporator. You can always advance the timer into defrost again until the ice is gone if the defrost thermostat is still closed. Read More...
Jim January 27, 2019 for Model Number LFFH17F3QWA Upright freezer, I keep finding water coming from underneath 1-2 times per day. Drain pan is dry, drain hose is clear. I turned the knob on the timer; there are 2 lines on the timer, one larger than the other, and there is a notch on the timer knob. The knob only turns in one direction. I find in the interior bottom of the freezer there is ice, and the holes which appear to be to let water out to the drain hose are completely iced over. Where do I go from here? Thanks for whatever help you can give me.
1 Answer Jim, the drain hole being iced over is an indicator of the drain line being clogged. You will want to clear the built up ice on the drain hole and flush the drain with hot water. The water should pour directly down the drain and not accumulate in the drain pan. Read More...

Gary July 31, 2018 Frigidaire model FRS26ZRGW9 My freezer shuts off after reaching a selected temp. but does not come back on automatically and results in melted ice and thawed food. If I turn the temp control knob to off, then back to a cold setting it will restart and freeze.
1 Answer Gary, The part that would most likely cause this will be a faulty temperature control panel number 5303300027. Read More...

Curt February 07, 2018 for Model Number FPUH17D7KF1 I have this Frigidare upright freezer fan and compressor are running continually but freezer does not get cold stays warm. Can you give me an idea of what to check 1st and so on? Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Curt, You will want to pull the rear wall of the freezer and check the frost pattern on the evaporator coils. If there is very little or no frost pattern then this will be an issue with the sealed system and will need service. If the coils are impacted with ice then check the defrost thermostat and defrost heater for continuity. If there is continuity then this will be a issue with the defrost control. Read More...
Thomas January 29, 2018 I have a Frigidaire model MFU14F3GW8. It just totally stopped running. It does nothing. I have unplugged the unit thinking it might need resetting. My first thought was the breaker was tripped but that was not the case. I know the outlet is fine since testing it.
1 Answer Hello Thomas, This is most likely the temperature control 216303600. I'm sorry but this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Lynda January 16, 2018 for Model Number 25321421100 If the freezer is freezing and keeping things frozen but the unit seems to run constantly, what would be the problem?
1 Answer Hello Lynda. As long as the unit is the correct temp, then it is working properly. It is not uncommon for it to run several times a day to regulate the temp in the unit. If the temp is not correct, then look for a defrost issue or bad cold control. Thank you. Read More...
Christopher December 13, 2017 for Model Number FFU14FC4Cw8 The fan runs compressor runs. I can feel cool air. But the unit wont freeze or drop below 50 degrees.
1 Answer Christopher, You will need to check the coils in the freezer to make sure that the coils are not impacted with ice. If they are then test the defrost thermostat and heater for continuity. If these check ok then the issue will be the timer. If there is no ice or very little ice then this will be a sealed system and will need to have service. Read More...
